limpid Posted October 27, 2013 Administrator Share Posted October 27, 2013 I hope this will be of interest to some VillaTalk members. I am organising a 5 team round robin 11-a-side tournament at Villa Park on Tuesday 6th May (9am – 2pm). Matches will be played on the full playing surface. Each team will play 4 x 25 minute matches and to keep the games flowing and to enhance the experience there will be no half-times and no off-sides. We will have use of the dressing room facilities and teams will line-up in the tunnel prior to their first match. There will be a cup/trophies to the winners & runner-up. The price is £125 +vat per person and a deposit of £50 pp is required as soon as possible please to secure the booking with the club. Please message me if you are interested or you can contact me at jeff@footballforfans.co.uk I hope the event will be of interest to you More information here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan_007 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well up for this - £125 each?? I know we are playing on the holy surface so fair enough, just seems a bit steep for a footy comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafans Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well up for this - £125 each?? I know we are playing on the holy surface so fair enough, just seems a bit steep for a footy comp. I fully accept it isn't what you can call cheap villan but it is very expensive to hire the stadium. I may be proved wrong but I would think this is one of the cheapest ways to have a play on the pitch experience ie playing 11-a-side on the full playing surface. I had just better clarify that it is £125 +vat pp. Excuse the suggestion but perhaps some people might think something like this would make a good Christmas present.

villafans Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Are we getting a VT team together - if so I would be keen. I am hopeful that there will be a scratch team omariqy. I would say there are 5 definites at the moment and another 3 who I would say are 50/50. Please e-mail me (see original post) if you are interested. Thanks.

TRO Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 It will be a first....just joking is there any plans for an over 60's team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villafans Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have played on Derbys pitch several times (pride park) with full use of facilities, changing rooms score boards, tannoys, seats etc. All we had to do was sell x amount of match tickets to get people into the gates at pride park. I cant remember the actual cost, but by having to pay for tickets you get a game and the chance to play. I would say though, once your on the pitch and playing; you do not notice where you are etc. you take more in on the sidelines or in the players entrance etc, It's a once in a life time exp. to say you have played there though. As big of a villa fan as i am, I would not pay that price to kick a ball on the pitch. £30 ticket at derby was about right I thought; granted there is a difference between the clubs. Whilst I accept the price isn't cheap what I would say is that it is much cheaper than some play on the pitch experiences. This sort of thing is a dream come true experience for many who take part and so it is open to debate as to how you value something like that. I would say that this is comparable to a "red letter day" type experience eg hot air balloon ride or driving a car around a race track so some may consider this to be a perfect Christmas present for someone.
